PROVENANCE:
Dorothy Miller, New York
Private Collection, California (gift from the above)

NOTE:
Dorothy Miller (1904 - 2003) was MoMA's first American art curator.
She was one of the very few women in her time who held a museum
position of such responsibility. On an international scale,
Miller's most influential show was The New American
Painting, which toured eight European countries in 1958 and
1959. This exhibition significantly changed European perceptions of
American art, firmly establishing the importance of contemporary
American painting, particularly the American Abstract
expressionists, for an international audience. This show also
included works by Willem de Kooning.
